there is bad example enough in all
these lands from the ungodly men
of Christian lands who are in Gov
eminent employ and engaged in
business. Let Christian nissiona-
ries be so free from all these things,
that no poor soul or body can be
injured by following their example.
A disastrous fire in Clarendon,
Pa, sweeps town away. 1t is said
the town was fired by revengeful
fiend because license to sell liquor
in the town was refused. 1t is true
that all the assassinations and fires
perpetrated by the liquor fends will
be only helps to the extinction of
the traffic. Because of his deed,
however, one thousand more are
homeless, yet this is small number
compared to the number of those
who are made homeless on account
of license. The few hundred thou
sand dollars lost by the fire are
small and insignificant compared to
the thousands lost by liquor licenses.
The one life that was lost is as a
drop in the bucket compared to the
thousands of lives annuity thrown
away through the effects of license.
Through his failure to secure license
this wicked man is murderer, but
had he succeeded, he would by a
small compensation have bought
the right to murder, through strong
drink, as many OF all ages and sexes
as he could have brought under his
baneful influence. The spirit of
murder was In his heart Is it is in
the heart of every rum seller. Other
towns would better be sacrificed TO
flames than to the greed of those
who would consign their neighbors
and their neighbors' families to the
eternal woe pronounced upon the
drunkard and the drunkard maker.

The Busy Bee, of Buckhannon,
has very naturally buzzed a little
because man was allowed, while
in state of INVESTIGATION, to lie upon
the street for an hour exposed to
the gaze of little children and to the
disgust of women who passed by.
1t is said that the Spartans used to
make their slaves intoxicated for the
purpose of disgusting their children
who would never see the worst
effects of drunkenness by associating
with only moderate drinkers. The
liquor traffic would very soon die
without law if every one who is
thus Intoxicated should be exposed
to public gaze. But this is not the
case. Even the instinct of a child
prompts him to conceal the fault of
his parent. The heart broken wife
will endure alone the insults, abuse
and disgust of a drunken husband
so long as she can possibly save him
from exposure. The rumseher, as
rule, does not choose to send his
victim out to become an object les.

while he insists that his license
